When carrying out this hack, any single-stem floor lamp will do (skip tripods). To begin, measure your floor lamp’s stem, cutting your pool noodle to match its length. Make sure to cut your pool noodle before painting it. This prevents the paint from flaking. After spray painting the noodle, slide it onto the lamp. You’ll need to glue it closed using adhesive and silver glitter washi tape, available on Amazon for just under $6.

You’ll also need a base for your lamp, covering the existing one with something glitzier. It’s best to use a square shoebox, cutting a hole for the lamp stem and the power cord. Instead of spray painting the base, use silver contact paper. Although this video adds glue and glitter to the base, you can purchase glitter contact paper instead, skipping a step for less than $6. You’ll also want to decorate your lamp shades using the glitter washi tape, creating any type of pattern you’d like.

Once your lamp is assembled, it’s time to add some extra flair. Purchase silver plastic mini appetizer forks for about $9, remove the handles, and glue them to your pool noodle in a decorative pattern. Next, add single strands of rhinestones for less than $9. You could also attach a self-adhesive crystal rhinestone ribbon for about $12 if you want a chunkier look. The best floor lamps will brighten up your living room, and this one has plenty of glitz and glam to catch the light.
